The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Run through the city of Terra. Running, running, running through until I ran out of breath, I jumped into the eight hundred houses in the matter.

"Your husband!

"Ira - what. Emily again."

"Emily, it's not! I heard that!

"... what do you want?

"It's money! You borrowed money!

To my words, I look a little bit like a bum and still smile.

"Hehe. What, are you done yet? Whoa! I borrowed 300 pieces of white gold!

It darkens in front of my husband's words. White gold coins, 300 pieces...!

"How are you going to give it back!

"How... you know, it's decided to sell vegetables, right? I'm an 800, aren't I? Holla, look at this! It's rare, isn't it?"

That said, I'll give this one a vegetable that looks like thickened cucumber. This is...

"Bitter, is it?

"Oh! Did you know? Here, it's bitter. Everything looks like a bitter uri, right?

"I know! I sell them in the commercial district, don't I? Besides..."

Skip your gaze on the price tag - what, this price!

"That's more than double the commercial district!

"Because... you don't have a choice, do you? I don't have a merchant to sell such rare vegetables. So here's the thing, in a commercial district store... huh?

"No way... are you arranging products bought from commercial enemies in stores!

... I'm getting a glare. Well, if you buy a product in a commercial district, doubling the price isn't ridiculous.

He said, "It's okay! Look, who's been over there lately? Because it's a product that we don't have, so we just have to go over there! I know we have the same product, but it's a little expensive and I'll buy it here. If you're a Terra person, buy products from a Terra merchant. It's the same thing since my grandfather's day."

openly.

It gets dark in front of my husband, who tells me it's nothing.

"... it's sweet! Wouldn't it be that easy to get there!

He said, "Go."

"I won't go! Husband, you're putting the store and the land in collateral, right? Such a sweet prospect...... really store, what would you do if it were taken!

"You're really worried, Emily. It's okay. Look, Emily. Three hundred white gold coins next month, I'll double them and give them back."

That said, to my husband, who laughs openly, I couldn't say anything more. Good luck, I said so, and I prayed to God.

"... the land is ready"

... a month later.

"A representative of the Diotes Chamber of Commerce should be coming to Terra. Erica, please get in touch."

...... I was walking in the city of Terra about behind Matsuyoshi heading to my husband's shop with the tenacious men with wooden hammers in their hands.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Hey, what you guys! What are you doing here!

In front of this rare customer who suddenly came to the store, my husband was showing his best vanity. It's kind of sad what it looks like.

"... I came to give you your money back. The repayment date should have been yesterday. Three hundred principal and white gold coins. Interest, three platinum coins. Three hundred and three sheets in total, I don't charge late interest, so can you give it back now?

"Or money? Oh, oh! Gold! Well... yeah! Give it back."

"Really? Does your repayment form a deed of surrender? Or with coins? It doesn't matter."

"Yes, no! I'm giving it back! Oh, that... yes! Hey, I don't have a hand today! Oh, that... yes! A month! Because I'll give it back in a month! Wait a minute."

"... so that's a different story? You promised me you'd pay me back today, didn't you?

"Yes, no, I know that. I know, but, you know, I really need something, right? You know what I mean? You know, I'm dating people, too."

……

"... you know what? Please."

……

"Hey, what the fuck! You don't have a choice! You can't shake a sleeve without it!

Unexpectedly angry master. Its like saying 'it's worse not to wait' when you say you haven't returned the money you owe yourself... through pity, it was even hilarious.

"... I mean... no matter what, I can't repay you today," he said?

"... Oh, oh!

"... ok"

In Matsuyo-sama's words, the color of relief floats in the face of the master of the eight hundred houses.

"… we will now enforce it under the contract"

... that too, for a moment.

"Hey, what the hell! Hey, hey! What the fuck!

A man with a large hammer in his hand broke into the store, who was holding back behind Master Matsuyoshi.

"No, quit!

One man shook a hammer. The hammer swung down at the same time as my husband's screaming. Dogan, along with the crushing noise, strikes through the walls of the eight hundred houses.

"Quit it! Quit it! Please, quit!

Dogan, Dogan and the crushing noise continue. The master of the eight hundred houses climbed to one man and was bounced off trying to stop him.

"Oh, hey! What the hell are you thinking? It's my shop, this is it!

The rolling momentum remains intact, and my husband leads to Matsuyoshi. Matsuyoshi looked down at his husband like that with cold eyes.

"No. It's not your store anymore. Despite the expiration of the repayment date, there was no repayment from you. It's on the contract, too, right? At that point, it's not your shop anymore."

"Hey, it's been a day! It's only been one day!

"It's 'even' all day. And... you said, 'I'll give it back in a month'. Why can I return something I can't return today in a month's time?

"Ugh, we're going to make sales! I can pay you back with that money!

"It's a daydream."

"Says it's a daydream!

"I lent you 300 white gold coins for a month. What have you been doing for a month? I bought some novel vegetables, yeah, fine. So? 'We have so many new vegetables!' Did you publicize it out loud? Did they make an effort to buy that vegetable for a little bit cheaper? Did they try to change the layout and make it look better? You didn't, did you? I purchased rare vegetables, arranged them in stores and just waited for customers to arrive. So you really think you can sell it?

"This is what I was going to do!

"... well. What do you do now that freshness turns a vegetable of life into such a shriveled thing to advertise?" My shop sells scum vegetables, "you're going to be advertised as well?

"Ku, he said it was scum vegetables! You treat my shop's vegetables like scum!

"I'm not treating you like a scumbag"

… take a breath.

"Seriously, I'm calling it 'scum'."

Afterwards, both.

"Oh, my God!

An exaggerated husband is beaten by Matsuyo-sama. Angry, beating my husband with his bloody running eyes.

"... that's it"

Emotionally...... maybe he wanted me to hit him. But this is the maid who serves Erica. The Lord's guests must be protected.

"Ha, let go! Get off me, you demon!

"... please calm down"

"Calm down? Calm down! Get off me! Emily, get off me!

"... excuse me"

"What the fuck! What the hell did I do! I wouldn't have done anything! Why, why do they have to take the store!

The power of my husband, who was rampant in my arms holding Tori down, slips away one by one. I started whimpering in the voice I was yelling at.

"You're right."

……

"You didn't do anything. Whether you follow the course of the times, defy the course of the times, or find a gap in the course of the times and swim, even that" effort ", you gave up."

… so.

"... you don't deserve to cry in this place. You can cry... the only person you can think of as hard is the person who made the 'effort'"

Unmerciful, to that word.

"... whoa... whoa..."

Only the whimpering and crushing sound of my husband was echoing in the city of Terra.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

……

I was staring at the ceiling, not doing anything, as I threw the bag I had in my pom and fell asleep in bed.

"The devil! The devil's hands!

I feel like I hear the resentment of the master of the eight hundred houses echoing from the bottom of the earth. The devil...... the devil's hand.

"... demon, huh?"

Yes... I am the devil.

For the money. For this Rondo de Terra, I destroyed and took the lives of those who now live in Coco.

"... If I am the devil, Matsuyo-sama is the demon king"

Rondo de Terra did get richer. The development that no one has ever imagined is so glorious that no one has ever thought of it. That's good. Good thing. Good thing... yet.

……

... Was Terra in a city like this?

Sure, there's a shop standing on land that was just empty. But the children's playground has decreased.

Sure, the city is full of life. But the smile is gone from everyone's face.

Indeed, everyone's nostalgia is moist.

"... but"

Instead... isn't 'warmth' disappearing from everyone's mind?

I was certainly poor. But wouldn't everyone have lived in support of each other in Terra? It was painful indeed. But wasn't everyone smiling at Terra? It was hard indeed. But in Terra, just enough to make a day of noise with a little 'happiness'...

... Weren't we all close?

"... haha"

Whether you think it or not, there's nothing to come true, nothing to go back to... you can't turn back, those days.

Hard, bitter, poor as it was painted on mud...... still, the days that were shining.

"... you can't go back"

That's... very, very lonely. Hard, sad... what the hell am I doing? It's really good to destroy people's lives, take them away, fulfill them.

"Get out of my way."

- Unexpectedly, I turn my gaze towards the voice I hear from the door.

"... Dear Maria, is it?

"Me too, Maria! What? What, Emily? With a dark face."

I can't contain hundreds of perceptions and frustrating emotions about what's fun, like Maria with Nico and a laughing look on her face.

"... what can I do for you?

"Wow, I'm frightened! Why don't you look at me like that? Beauty ruined it."

"... please leave me alone"

"That's it - I don't know. Mr. Emily, how long are you gonna be in your room messing around?

"Until what time... and...?

Open your eyes to Maria's words with your gaze out the window. The sun, which was at the top of the sky when he returned to his room, was about to set in the western sky.

"Oh, my God! Meal support."

"I already did that."

"- If you don't... Huh?

"No matter how long it takes for Emily to get out of the room, we made it instead."

Maria Searches specialty, Sorbanian cuisine, and a naive smile on Maria's face. Huh?

"Um... why is Maria here?

"Thank you, thank you. No, I want you to introduce me to Corta Han."

"Good property?

"Seya. Oh, my God, the Diotes Chamber of Commerce wants land! Kota introduced me to that."

"... Matsuyo-sama, but?

... What's going on?

"I bought it because I have ae land, and Kota Han introduced me. Say a thousand and five hundred pieces of white gold coins, and I'll put up a lot of value... hoy, but the Diotes Chamber of Commerce will sell the land for two thousand pieces soon, tell me to come! Just for about two hours? Make 500 white gold coins in just two hours. No, I let you do business."

"Huh?... Huh?

"... but it's funny, isn't it? Courta, I only got 500 of them, and then I got a thousand of them in white gold, and Hola, the other day I was in 800 houses. Give it to him, tell him... he'll be delighted with tears..."

... Wait.

... Wait, wait, wait! What the hell is going on?

"Yeah. Did you say hello to Emily, the owner of that 800 house? After that, apologize to me for being sorry and tell me... Emily! Where are you going? Hey, cook! Our specialty Sorbanian cuisine!

Maria's, in the middle of the word.

"Emily-sa-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

I popped out of the room.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Master Matsuyoshi!

"... Emily? What's the matter, in such a hurry?

Open the door of Matsuyo-sama's office with a burn and jump into the room. I sat at my desk and had eyes with Matsuyoshi, who looked surprised.

……

"... uh, Mr. Emily? What's the matter, look so scared. Um... did I do something?

……

"... Emily?

"... it's land"

"Land?"

"Please don't blur! Um... it's that land that was sold to Maria, that the master of that 800 house has inherited from his ancestors!

Matsuyo-sama's face is only slightly distorted by my words.

"... have you been asked yet?

"Yeah, I heard you! Why! Why did Maria sell you the land! Why did you take the land until you demolished the store! Why... why!

... Why did you give my husband the land you got so far... the 'money'?

……

……

"... that's hard"

"What!

"To the formation of legitimate distribution prices, hedging of repetition risks, escaping guilt... oh, there's also a line called hypocrisy"

"... Are you making a fool of yourself?

I can see blue muscles floating around my forehead. Matsuyoshi turns a serious face to me like that at what time.

"The land price here goes up more. However, if you have a reputation for seizing such land with a liability of about 300 pieces of white gold coins, it will hinder your future collateral valuation. Likewise, the reputation of saying 'the lord of Terra expelled the inhabitants at a low price' is the most obstructive to the movement of people"

"... guilt and hypocrisy, what?

"... that I'm human, too."

That's what I said, one sigh.

"... I knew Emily was under the burden of acquiring land. I know, but there was no one else I could ask for. I wouldn't have been able to buy land or anything, and in Mr. Erica, residents contract. Emily, if you hadn't convinced me that you were in contact with the residents, there would have been no development of terra like you are now."

I'm really grateful to you and... so I'm just going to sin a little bit.

"I don't know."

That's what I said, head down, to Matsuyo-sama.

"... the development of Terra now... was it really good, please"

... I don't know.

"... Emily"

"Because... Because you would! Get rid of the people who've lived here before! Destroy the life you've been living! Memories of your father, grandfather, or someone who has lived there for a long time! Have a nice, beautiful day."

... that's hard to substitute for anything, life.

"... until 'break it'... does Terra have to develop...?

Sometimes, the floor I stared down at seeps.

"... Emily"

How long have you been standing there?

"… I am, ready"

Unexpectedly, Matsuyo-sama's voice sounded indoors.

... Ready?

"Until you kick out the inhabitants, be prepared to develop Terra. Be prepared to rebuild your finances until you destroy the lives of your inhabitants. Your father, your grandfather, and your ancestors have lived here for generations, polluting precious and important memorable lands, destroying nature and making them paint on sludge."

to future generations.

… No. Prepare the people who live in this world to do what they call "demons" and "demon kings".

……

"... so I can't break. So I won't stop. I won't bend over how many bad reviews and how much discomfort I buy. If I break, if I stop, if I bend."

... because it's the biggest insult to people I've ever defiled.

"So no matter what Mr. Emili says, I'm not going to quit the way I think right now. I want to be honest with the eyes out there more than I've thrown a rhino"

That said, as usual...... then, to Matsuyo-sama, who smiles just a little sadly.

"... What's missing from me is' ready '?

"... that's beyond my comprehension. No one will want to buy bad reviews... because if I tell you, I'm a leftover. You don't think the same way Emily does."

So... you can stay on the side of the people, right? and.

"... ah..."

In that word...... I get it.

"... Matsuyo, Dear"

As a 'brave man', summoned.

I came to this Rondo de Terra even though I didn't want to, 'Demon King'

……

Alone.

Only one, come and live in this world, this' demon king '

"... ok"

... If you do it out of guilt, you falsify it as hypocrisy, this' demon king '.

"What did you find out?

In the name of the Demon King...... I'm sure he's kinder than anyone and sweeter than anyone else.

"… 'ready'"

... whether you think it or not, there is nothing to come true, there is nothing to go back to.

... I can't turn back, those days.

Hard, bitter, poor as it was painted on mud...... still, the days that were shining.

"... what was missing from me was' Readiness'"

What's missing from me is' Readiness'

Think of the days gone by, not tears.

In the new 'world', he just said he would look forward and hiccup and walk away.

"... I've decided to be 'ready' too"

… be prepared to dance with this' gentle demon king '.

"... you don't have to force me, do you?

"I'm not going to sit down."

... with the Demon King, let's dance.

Let's wreck the old world, with this brave and gentle demon king... and dance the new world in circles and madness.

People from all over the world curse me as a beast, despise me as a demon, and try to hate me as a demon king.

"… on your side, I will remain"

… I will dance with you.

"You don't have to be stigmatized."

People from all over the world curse me as a beast, despise me as a demon, hate me as a demon king... and still, keep reaching out to the people for salvation, on the side of such a 'gentle demon king'.

"I will continue to teach you how to flog."

Regards, Dear 'Coata',.

That's what I said. My chest just rang a little for some reason.
